Welcome to life:/straightup! Seeing as this is my first post I probably ought to give you an idea of what I plan on this website becoming. First and foremost, it is an experiment in using the wordpress system. I am currently learning how to make my own themes and the plan was not to launch this website until I have custom designed a theme but what the heck this will be a beta version. Consider it version 0.01. So if things break or what not, bear with me.

Secondly,  this is a soap box for me to disseminate my opinion to the tubes. So I will be giving my opinion on such varied subjects as film, politics, alcohol, design, and many other ridiculously interesting topics.

Finally, once I have interesting work to put up it will become a portfolio of my creative work. I have been out of the creative field for too long, and now like a prodigal son I shall return.

Actually, I have been out of the money making field for too long. For you dear readers who don’t know, I was laid off. Yes, I was a victim of the economy. Unemployment has it benefits and its drawbacks but right now I really wish I had money coming in. I will write about my unemployment at length at another time. Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps not. Well I am going to dive back into php and css for a bit. Take care!
